Prophecy and Judgment
Behold, the Bridegroom Cometh
Jesus warned His followers to watch and be ready for His return. Through the parable of the ten virgins, examine the lamp, the oil, and the vessels—and why knowing the Word of God is not enough without the Holy Spirit preparing us to meet the Bridegroom.
Modern Day Sodom
Jesus warned that the days before His return would resemble the days of Lot. Look beyond the sin most often associated with Sodom and examine the broader rebellion that brought God’s judgment—and how its pride, corruption, violence, and rejection of God’s order are reflected in the world today.
Mystery Babylon
Why does Revelation speak of Babylon centuries after the ancient kingdom fell? Trace Babylon from Israel’s captivity to its prophetic meaning in Revelation, and examine how pagan customs, false worship, and religious confusion have carried Babylon’s influence into Christianity today.
Strong Delusions
Can those who profess to follow God become so resistant to truth that they are given over to deception? Examine Scripture’s warning about strong delusions, lying signs and wonders, false teachers, and what can happen when believers refuse to love, hear, and obey the truth.
The Altar of God
Who are the souls beneath the altar in Revelation, and what does their cry for vengeance really mean? Examine this often-misunderstood vision through the rest of Scripture, the meaning of the altar, and the suffering of God’s faithful people rather than assuming the dead are conscious in heaven.
The False Prophet
Revelation warns of a false prophet working alongside the dragon and the beast—but is this power still future? Follow the biblical and historical trail as this chapter identifies the false prophet, examines its relationship to the beast, and exposes deception operating in the name of Christ.
The Rapture?
Millions of Christians expect a secret rapture before a future tribulation—but is that what Scripture teaches? Compare modern rapture doctrine with the biblical account of Christ’s return and the resurrection of the just, and examine whether Scripture describes two events or one glorious coming.
The Second Death
Does the Bible teach that the wicked will suffer consciously in fire forever? Examine Scripture’s language of eternal fire, everlasting punishment, and the lake of fire—and why the final judgment is called the “second death,” ending in destruction rather than eternal life in torment.
The Spirit of Cain
Cain worshipped God, yet refused to worship Him as He required—and hatred followed when Abel’s obedience was accepted. Examine the spirit that resists God’s standards, despises those who remain faithful, and has repeatedly driven professed believers to persecute those who obey.
The Unpardonable Sin
What is the sin that Jesus said would not be forgiven? Examine what Scripture means by blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, how persistent resistance to the Spirit hardens the heart, and why repeatedly rejecting truth can bring a person to a place where repentance no longer comes.
Who is the Beast of Revelation?
Revelation gives a solemn warning against worshipping the beast, receiving its mark, and bearing its image—but who is this power? Follow the identifying marks Scripture provides, trace them through history, and examine why understanding the beast matters before its final deception.
Woe Unto You
Jesus reserved some of His strongest rebukes for religious leaders who appeared righteous while leading others into error. Examine His warnings to the scribes and Pharisees alongside the modern church—and the danger when hypocrisy, greed, and false doctrine flourish behind a religious appearance.
